OEM Dynamics
Hardware engineering resources are at 25% of OEM’s. Software and Systems engineers now make up the majority. This is at a historical low. • Complexities of processors increasing rapidly
o o

Multicore processors with memory subsystems, high-speed IO, hardware acceleration on a single device High-speed IO • Memories have moved from DDR1 to DDR3 in just a few years • PCI to PCI Express® gen 1 to gen 2. (5 GHz) • On board Gigabit Ethernet and 10G Ethernet

•

Need to get more products to the market faster with more capability at lower development cost Has the expertise to deal with high-speed design and multicore processors Module offering provides customers semicustom capability to make their products unique for a variety of markets Module standardization allows for multi-performance capability Improves the time to market and lowers the development cost

Power Architecture® Processor Roadmap
High Performance within Embedded Power Budget of 30W – 64-bit Cores High Performance within Embedded Power Budget of 30W

Embedded Security Module – provides hardware-based protection of cryptographic keys, stores measurements of device state and helps to prove to a third party that the device is trustworthy. Device Hardware Security – hardware memory partition provides a secure connection to the ESM to guard against unauthorized access and separation of resources to isolate different security domains. Software Measurement - At boot time and at runtime, a HAP device measures software in a trusted manner before that software is allowed to execute. Separation of Domains - Software can be run free from interference or threat from other software running in other domains on the same device. Remote Attestation - When connecting to a network, a HAP device provides proof of its state to HAP network devices and servers, which can then make a determination about the trustworthiness of the HAP device and, based on that determination, allow access, quarantine or remediate the HAP device. Secure Central Administration - HAP devices can be administered centrally through their entire lifecycle, enabling the secure provisioning, audit, identification, authentication, management and decommissioning of the HAP devices in enterprise environments.

QorIQ Processors
Objective of the Assurance: Trust Architecture

Protection Against:
Theft of Functionality - loss of control of the system’s functionality • Theft of Data - where a data protection policy exists, loss of data to an unauthorized party • Theft of Uniqueness - loss of product differentiation through reverse engineering, duplication and unapproved inter-operability.

COM Express pin-outs define which signals are taken to the end of a processing module via the 4 COM Express connectors: A,B,C,D Modules are built according to a certain type - in order to successfully mate with a carrier The types are defined by PICMG. http://www.picmg.org/ The QorIQ modules use new pinouts that are PICMG compatible, not compliant.
